eddoakley Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Some of you may have seen my thread about the new pup. Amazing how much she has grown in just a week! Anyway, she lives in the kitchen at the moment and doesn't cry very much or very often. But most times that she has and I go in there soon after she has done her business. I am thinking that the 2 are linked and that she is crying to be let out. If she is left for a while and I hear her a few times there is often more mess. She is only just 8 weeks so hasn't been going outside to speak of other than the garden or a bit of visiting. My question is how should I play it? I don't want to let her out every time she cries as that will obviously teach her that's how to get attention but if she is crying to be let out I want to do that. Has anybody tried a "nanny cam"? I really only need to know a couple of times if that's what she is crying for so I can do the right thing. Any other suggestions?

ShootingEgg Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 I would be letting out a few times an hour or once every 30 minutes maybe, at 8 weeks the bladder is weak and small.. If you see her toileting then stop her and take her out and make her finish outside. Try and get to it before its done inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dabbers Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) we have had our pup a week now,and its my wife who does the toilet training ,,pup sleeps in a cage ,in the living room and said wife sleeps on sofa next to it,,the minute the pup whines during the night she opens the cage and carries it out to back garden where it instantly does the biz she then praises it and returns it to cage ,,twice a night ,she has always did this for her pups ,not just gundogs but siberian huskies as well ,and it works all the time, she would,nt do it any other way the dog does not get a chance to soil the house ,occasional in the cage but you have to be quick, Edited November 5, 2015 by dabbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secretagentmole Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Our last two copied what the older dogs were doing outside and basically house trained themselves... We did have to get up during the night, but they were asking to go outside so it was scoop up puppy outside, praise, inside....

Codeye Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Spend some time with your dog keep watching heryou will soon see the signs she wants to go out , everytime you see these signs just let her out its as simple as that, she will get it in no time at all , the more time you spend with her the quicker it will be , hope this helps Edited November 5, 2015 by Codeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 My pup was let out every hour or so and praised using the toilet word and ruffling the grass. Through the night it was left but if it murmured i let it out and again praised. Now at 12 weeks now it will do a wee on command and number two if it needs one. I still watch it if it moves within the house just in case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddoakley Posted November 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Thanks for the suggestions. Sleeping next to the her crate is not an option and I am trying to spend as much time as possible with her, lots of praise and treats when she goes outside or on the training mat. Looking forward to a couple of weeks time when when she can come out to work with me and hopefully that will sort things quickly.

eddoakley Posted November 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 (edited) Haha. Just cleaning up after her and called her a few names! I'm stuck on "dog". She had her 2nd jabs today and the girls in the vets were laughing. A few people have told me off for it but others like it. To be honest it was just a giggle at first but I'm stuck on it. "Very unusual but it seems to work for her" was how the vet put it as he was laughing. Edd Edited November 11, 2015 by eddoakley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo-1 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I worked with dogs for years in the Army and have heard some splendid names including Satan, Vortex and Dusty! I have always wanted to call a dog "Deefa".........Deefa dog. Get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
